About




About
I’m a visual anthropologist, filmmaker and visual artist working across ethnography, cinematic poetry and low-toxicity analog processes. I’m interested in how we as humans relate to landscapes through narratives, imagination and experience. In my practice I currently investigate multispecies relations in regenerative agriculture, where soil is viewed as a living ecosystem to collaborate with. Here I explore a new aesthetic in agriculture through cinematic poetry and plant based analog processes to establish a greater sensitivity towards other life forms in the biosphere.
